Comment Re: They have to be (Score 4, Informative) 144

The state cops in my state make up about 33 percent of the top 1000 people on the payroll. They make more than presidents of the state colleges. But not the state university. They make more than the vast majority of professors either at college or university level.

It is not uncommon to have a decent sized group of state cops making 300k or more.

Sure you do.

Comment Gotta do something with AI (Score 1) 18

It is so stupid. You can almost feel the pressure CEOs are facing: what are you doing for AI.

Have some courage and respond: not much!

Instead they do something. Anything. It will be interesting to look back at this acquisition in a few years. Iâ(TM)m betting this thing will be dead and buried. With a few bits of technology folded in their other products to lessen their embarrassment.

Comment Perl? (Score 1) 80

The end times must be upon us.

Though, I will say it was useful when I set up my companyâ(TM)s first duct-tape-and-zip-tie CDN back in the late 90s for software downloads. All I was given was access to three distributed sun boxes that I could stash our binaries on, and run cgi scripts on Apache. I was able to redirect our paying customers to these servers and still have reasonable (but not perfect) confidence the files were hard to get for non paying customers. It used a simple token passing scheme. Perl was all I had, and I was able to do what I needed.
